Re: [Postfixadmin-devel] Adding arbitrary field to mailbox table

[David G. <da...@co...>]

People keep asking for additional fields, but I'm not really sure it's something we can ever support in a flexible enough way to satisfy anyone. 

I'm happy to have a rule that fields starting with x_ are 'reserved' for local site customisations. We should include a note in one of the files in svn to make it official.
